Man crush

I don't often fall for guys. I've been single for . . . . . a while now (no comment!)
I'm very VERY picky with men which is always a real debate amongst friends.

Is it better to be with a guy, have fun, have free dinners and drinks on him- cos let's be honest that's how it works for the first few dates, and how it shall remain forever- he's not perfect but he's ok, it's nice to have a boyfriend but you don't see a future with him type
Or do you stick with your real picky vibes and refuse to settle for any man less than a *Super-amazing-sexy-charming-fucking hilarious-rainbow-sparkle-God*?

This is where I'm at. I'm totally team *He rocks my world-makes me pee my pants laughing-ultimate sex god-can surf and play the guitar-and takes me for Friday night cocktails-piece of hot* I'm not gonna settle.

But I will settle for my man crush. He's a 30-something, trilby wearing, rugged American by the name of Joshua Radin.
He has been the one for a couple of years now and I wanted to share the love with you.

Oh yeah, you just go ahead and smoulder on that carousel Joshua.

My favourite song of his is 'You got what I need'- you may find it a little too mellowed out but it's great. His new album is out end of July and then he'll be back on tour baby!

 'You got what I need'- What do you think?

'Underwater' from his new album. . . . . 'Underwater'

His music is pretty mellow, folksy, acoustic guitar, chilled out, husky voiced tuneage which I love! He's the type of guy that Instagram was made for- all rustic, nostalgic and makes a Starbucks coffee cup look like the coolest shit ever.

Instagram should hire this dude asap- You see he's all black and white scooter, sepia shadows in the sun, moody Colloseum clouds, type of a guy.

These photos are all from Joshua's Twitter so don't get all copywrite on me ok.

He's definitely the type of guy you'd want to wander around Europe with, eating gelatto and getting matching tattoos.

I've seen him live twice in London- the first time dragged my sister as my date, the second time she wasn't so reluctant and next time she'll bloody love it!
The last time we went was October 2011. I was feeling pretty eager, like I LOVE this dude, and he had his nipples on show through his top all night so I had to stick around to get a close-up view.
We got all super-eager-groupie on his ass and waited by the stage door for about an hour- sister was surprisingly willing!
I got that excited nervous feeling you get when you see/meet a proper celeb like Suri Cruise or Romeo Beckham- then I saw his nipples walking towards me.

We autographed, we photographed, he told my sister, Charlie, that his bassist had written a song about a girl he didn't know called Charlie. . . . . .and maybe she was her! (It clearly isn't.)
I promised to follow it up and get her hooked up with him. I googled. . . . . He's no Joshua Radin.

Can almost see his nips.

Oh. And he also follows me on Twitter. No biggie. (And so should you- You love me? Tweet me! Or you now love Joshua becuase of me? Tweet me! And then tweet him I guess, I'm sure he'd love it! @phillybrod)

(I may do my next post on my girl crushes but I fear a bit of backlash. Not sure how you'll feel about my mixed bag of lovelies)
